Radical Recovery Peer Support (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781917281935)

Radical Recovery Peer Support is a program that utilizes Peer Support to help individuals achieve wellness and personal growth. The author of the program uses first-person inspirational passages to draw parallels between concepts and recovery. The Program can be done either in-person or online. For the group programs, we have three options. The first is a general wellness and personal growth group which is simply called Radical Recovery Peer Support. There is also a group with a focus on higher education called "RRPS-University", and finally there is a version of RRPS for Criminal-reentry called "RRPS-Liberation". Over the course of five sessions each group covers important concepts like the Linear Growth Model and Parallel Recovery Concepts. It Also Focuses on the nine Recovery Fundamentals which include principles like Honesty, Trust, Acceptance, Hope, Personal Responsibility, Self-Advocacy, and others. How each group presents the concepts and fundamentals is unique. The Linear Growth Model recognizes that while growth and recovery are not always linear, putting in effort does often lead to progress over time. Growth may appear uneven, with periods of progress and periods of struggle. However, making consistent efforts through programs like Radical Recovery Peer Support can help us move closer to our hope of achieving stability and wellness.
